Doing a rig check before offshore sailing? Here’s how we inspect our rigging before every passage. From the top of the mast, we check for cracked fittings, loose pins, corrosion, and halyard chafe — the small things that can turn into big problems at sea. We use a climbing harness (or a bosun’s chair works too), a figure 8 knot for extra security, and always a backup halyard. Clear communication and double-checking gear are key when one of you is literally hoisting the other up the mast. This is part of our pre-passage checklist — and it’s one of the most important safety steps we take before any long sail. ⛵ Want more sailing tips, rigging know-how, and liveaboard life?

The 2025 skydiving season is officially here! Join us for dropzone opening week as we kick things off with Safety Day, gear checks, refresher training, and—of course—plenty of skydives! From hop and pops to high-altitude jumps, it's time to shake off the rust and get back in the sky. Whether you're a licensed skydiver, AFF student, or just love all things skydiving, this video gives you a behind-the-scenes look at life at the DZ as the season begins. We cover everything from canopy flight, gear checks, and emergency procedures to the pure stoke of jumping with friends again. You'll see skydiving formations, freeflying, belly jumps, and maybe even a little tracking and angle flying. Plus, stick around for a look at the aircraft we jump from—whether it's a Cessna 182, Caravan, or Twin Otter, aviation is at the heart of everything we do. If you're into general aviation, parachutes, pilots, or the wild world of human flight, you're in the right place. Don't forget to like, comment, and subscribe for more content on skydiving, flying, and life at the dropzone! ✈️🪂 #skydiving #aviation #dropzone #parachuting #pilotlife #jumpseason #safetyday #flight #canopy #extremesports #AFF #funjump #generalaviation #DZlife
